New Loophole Created: You can cheat on your spouse without him/her being able to divorce you

by ILoveTTATT2 in

the new "pillowgate" video exposed a loophole in the witnesses´s thinking, showing how dangerous and stupid legalism is.. this loophole is sure to destroy many people´s lives.. 1) they said that two men masturbating at the same time in front of each other does not constitute "porneia".. 2) "porneia" is the only biblical reason for divorce.. 3) from 1) we can also get two women masturbating in front of each other, or a man and a woman masturbating in front of each other, does not constitute "porneia".4) most people would consider masturbating at the same time with another person to be cheating, and a logical reason for divorce.. so this will lead to many witnesses going to the elders and being told that they cannot divorce this person who clearly cheated on them.

then, if this person (the "innocent mate") divorces and marries someone else, then that person would be the one possibly disfellowshipped!the implications of the loophole are so stupid and so damaging!i predict another flip-flop.

"considering things more closely, this is "porneia"... or doubling down on it ("sorry but that is what the biblical limits are") or just fading away into those things that only 1% of jw´s know it´s a rule....

Very clever fat freak you've Illustrated how ludicrous the governing body is with their legalese approach to lording it over the sheeples.

WT predicting smartphones back in the 20s?

i've come across a jw friendly article about watchtower predicting smartphones in the 20s.. .

of course, in the comments section there are a lot of jws freaking out saying "there is no doubt that this is the only true organization!

", "thanks jehovah that used his faithful and discreet slave to tell us some useful information about the future!

Everyone seems to have missed a key ingredient to that prediction. No less than three times on that page they use the phrase "some day" -- and that someday, they say, will be at the conclusion of the Thousand Years.

That is some monstrously bad prediction.

Elder father "would check his daughter"

by FatFreek 2005 in

several days ago our beloved barbara anderson, watchdog of watchtower-abused children, posted our forum’s thread, “slate article: a new “wikileaks for religion” publishes its first trove of documents”.

the new faithleaks web site began hosting document submissions aimed at whistleblowers of a religious bent.

it must’ve caught the eye of some watchtower insider.. “faithleaks, like mormonleaks, is founded on the belief that increased transparency results in fewer untruths, less corruption, and less abuse in any organization.

" In the morning he would check Johnson by opening the lips of her vagina and checking for redness. If it didn’t look right, he would beat her.”"

That monster should be locked up with a key thrown away

Curiosity

by Jrjw in

i was just sitting daydreaming about answering up during a watchtower and exposing one of the lies the wts has stated in the study material and wondering what the reaction would be 😊 has anyone ever done this on their way out?

Mr Roboto -- excellent examples and there are probably a slew of others

Sorry about the spelling of your handle but my Android tablet insists he wants to correct it its own way

Moses, Soloman spoke to the entire assembly of Israel...How???

by James Mixon in

moses spoke to the entire assembly deuteronomy 31:3, leviticus19:2 and exodus 16:9 no sound amplification, we must remember he was speaking to 2 million people.

solomon in 2 chronicles spoke to thousands maybe millions, so how the hell did folks a mile away hear..you need a sound system for 200 folks in a close building in the kh.... moses, solomon and others had a great set of vocal cords.....

Today's Watchtower did have some nice bits in it but hang on...

by Isambard Crater in

...in the section where it said unselfishly loving people don't draw attention to themselves but do things anonymously, the thought came to me about why at the conventions do they announce "and now a talk from brother x who has served as an elder and pioneer for twenty years"?

some say it's encouraging but i have never felt that way..

You nailed a big contradiction which I've never noticed before
